The aim of this paper is to compare results of hydrological periods obtained through different methodologies. So, descriptive statistic techniques as central trend measures: mean, dispersive measures: standard deviation ...

Hydropeaking operations can severely degrade ecosystems. As variable renewable sources (e.g. wind power) are integrated into a power grid, fluctuations in the generation-demand balance are expected to increase. In this ...

This paper analyses the problems involved in the conservation and management of the hydrological system of the South American páramo. The páramo consists of a collection of neotropical alpine grassland ecosystems covering ...

This article highlights the economic and ecological value of the water resource systems of Ecuador’s paramo and montane forest region and gives a description, based on a survey of recent literature, of the mechanisms ...
